Title: Multiresonance helix antenna
Inventor: HAARAKANGAS TUOMO
IPC: H01Q5/40
Filed: 2009-07-02
Abstract: A helix antenna especially aimed for the satellite connections of mobile devices. The antenna (300) is to be fed from above, and all its radiators are side by side on a same geometric cylindrical surface. The antenna has at least two resonances. In the case of two-resonance every second radiator (321, 323, 325, 327) resonates at a lower frequency and the rest of the radiators (322, 324, 326, 328) at another, higher frequency, the frequency difference being based on the difference in the physical length of the radiators. One conductor of the feed line of the antenna is connected directly to a half of the radiators and the other conductor to the second half of the radiators. No separate feed circuit for the phase shifts is required in an antenna with plurality of helix radiators,because the phasing can be implemented by the positioning of the radiators and the fine tuning of their length. The antenna structure is simple, in which case its production costs are relatively low.

Title: Analogue parallax barrier
Inventor: SMITH NATHAN JAMES
IPC: G02B30/30
Filed: 2012-12-12
Abstract: An optical modulation device has an electro-optical cell15, first and second electrodes 3a,3b disposed on a first substrate 1, in electrical contact with a resistive layer 2. A third electrode 3c is disposed on a second substrate 5, and an electro-optic material such as liquid crystal 4 is disposed between the first and second substrates. Applying different voltages (VO, V1) to the first and second electrodes 3a,3b, produces a voltage gradient along the resistive layer 2. Applying an intermediate voltage Vsig to the third electrode 3c, defines a first region 6a in the cell wherein the voltage applied across material 4 is lower than a switching threshold voltage and a second region 6b in the cell wherein the voltage applied across material 4 is greater than the switching threshold voltage. The position and width of the first region 6a are controllable independently from one another and are continuously variable, since they are defined by the voltages applied to the first, second and third electrodes. This arrangement provides an adjustable parallax barrier suitable for use in an autostereoscopic display including an eye-tracker and enables the parallax barrier to be adjusted in response to detected movement of a user.
